Come and get your median income here!
We're number one, sorta. The median income for my state is 65,144. For the US, its 48,451. For the state, the median is about 34% higher than the US median.
For my town, tho, the median is about 36,031 or about 25% lower than the US median income and its about 55% of the state median income.
About 42% of the Baltimore City population does not make 200% of the federal poverty limit; 19.5% of the population lives on less than the federal limit.

This is supposed to be an lte. Critisim is welcome and requested.
I count the dead. I confess the numbers are somewhat of a fascination. For August 8th, the official body count is 193, annualized to about 320 murders. The rate of increase over last year is trending up. On August 12th, we've reached 196 dead and an increase of almost 17% over last year.
I do the numbers every day as if the ritual itself will change the dead into something tolerable. This year we'll see about 45 more people killed this year than last year, plus or minus a couple of bodies. If nothing changes, we will be counted the most violent place in the nation.

Is healthcare an open market? - pls help (diary virgin)

I need some help figuring out this question and I'd be grateful for any assistance.
In my state (MD), like 95% of the health insurance is provided by only two companies. The inscos have payment agreements with the doctors and other suppliers. In most instances - as I found out - you can't see a doctor without having insurance and your treatment plan is controlled by your insco, not your doctor. When is a market considered closed?
